Lessons are topic-based, built around British life and culture, and taught by qualified teachers (minimum CELTA plus a degree). We run a zig-zag timetable, so lessons alternate between mornings and afternoons, and every week ends with a student presentation.
We occasionally receive requests from students outside our 12–17 age range who wish to join as part of a group. Each request is risk-assessed, and final decisions are made by the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
